eccentric end ofgthe plunger'24f thereby opf-,I

erating said plunger against the tension of the spring 27 and removing the valve 25 from the port 26. As long as the plunger 15 is held down in this manner oil ivill continue to ioiv through the port 2G and nipple 2S to the valve. mintxliately-l upon release of the plunger the springs 2'? and 1T will restore the parts to normal position. By turning the plunger l5 the cut-away portion of the crescent shaped disk' 16 `ivill permit the plunger l5 to be fully depressed Without actuating the plunger 2i.v By depressing the plunger l5 and inserting the spout of an oil can in the opening 2() the. vcasing ,6 may be filled with oil without re moving the device from the saiv handle.

What is claimed is l. In a lubricating device'for hand saws, a casing having a discharge port,jmeans for holding the casing Within the handle of the hand saiv, a valve for controlling the discharge from the port, a spring retracted plunger connected to the valve 'and having an' oflset end, a spring retracted plunger operating member having a crescentfshaped end to engage the oset end of the plunger and an apertured operating button for the plunger Aoperating member, said crescentshaped end acting as a valve.

2. ln combination With a saw handle, said handle beingprovided with a seat and .with [a support opposite to said seat, a tubular member projecting into said support, an en. larged cap integrally formed upon said tu-y bular'inember, a casing threaded into said cap and having a closed bottom, an adjust-- ing cap secured into said seat and threaded upon the closed bottom portion of said casing, to hold' said member against said 'support, "aspringpressed ivalve larranged in said casing, the .closed bottom of said casing having a port and said seat having' a passage for communication with saidy'port, said valve controlling said port, and means in said tubular member for controlling said valve.

3. In combination,` a saW handle, a lubricant containing casing carried by said handle, means for supporting said casing upon said handle, said casing having a feed port7 a semi-circular plate mounted at the upper end of said casing, a valve rod passing into -said casing and its port, au eccentric'por- -tion formed upon said valve rod and projecting into said plate, a manu-ally controlled re-r ciprocating member carried by said'handle, a crescent-shaped lhorizontally disposed Umember carried-by said reciprocating meinber, said crescent-shaped member being disposed in said casing and movable to-position to engage said eccentric` portion, a coil spring surrounding said'valve .rod against which said rod is depressed and a valve carried by said valve rod adapted lto close said handle previ ed `with a hand receiving recess, a seat Liorined upon said recess portion and having a discharge port, a second seat feriiied upon said portion opposite said.

first named seat, a casing having at each end a yreduced threaded nipple', a. longitudi-` nally extending tube projecting into said second seatI and having an integral cap formed with perforations and engaging one vof the threaded nipples of said casing, an adjusting cap having a discharge nipple received in said iirstnamed seat and coinmunieating with the ports thereof, said adjusting cap engaging the opposite threaded nipple of saidcasing whereby t0 support the same, a spring supported valve rod in said longitudinally extending tubeadapted to be depressed, a swivelable member carried by ysaid rod adapted to close said perforations,

and means engageable by said valve for con-v veying oil from said casing through said discharge nipple and said port.

l'lna device of the classA described, in combination a support, an oil containing casing mounted therein, said casing having a discharge port, a valve adapted to close said port, a valve rod connected ltosaid valve and extending upwardly into said casing, a spring coiled about said valve rod, in sa' casing, a depressing pin .cari-lied by -s valve rod and engaging said spring, a ,cr-ank formed as an' offset upon' said valve rod, a

ation, a saw handle, saidcircular plate in said casing through which said crank projects, a housing upon said casing, ya plunger rod Ain saidv housing, a-

spring against vvhich said plunger rod is de pressed, a button carried by said plunger rod, saidv housing vhaving a port communicating with said casing, and -a valve controlled by said plunger rod normally clos-`
